Installing Kicker Speakers on 2004 Honda Accord

Once again I decided to do an audio upgraded on my Honda Accord. I got rid of the stock speakers and installed some Kicker Speakers that were 5 1/4 inch. (Kicker Speaker CS5) Although if you really wanted to, you could most likely install some 6 1/2 inch speakers. The installation was super easy and will most likely take anywhere from an hour to two. I tried my best to show everything but if I left anything out or you still have questions, feel free to leave a comment down below! Once again Thanks some much for watching and Subscribe to stay TUNED!

The stock speakers on these are actually really well made and designed to be serviced, the magnet comes off the back and you can recone the speaker quite easily. The size difference in the magnet is because the Honda (Alpine) factory speaker uses a shielded neodymium magnet, whereas the Kicker uses a ceramic magnet.

I like leaving comments on old videos, without any sense of the fact that they're old. So I'm doing that now. Good Vid. Mines over 300K and it still runs great.

[@bartsimpson4983]

You’re actually supposed to use the same plastic mounting bracket the OEM speaker came in you just pop out the old speaker and cut out a bigger hole if needed to clear your new speaker magnet 👌

I’m loving your channel brother, I just purchased a 2003 accord lx about a week ago and now I just wanna upgrade everything and your videos are helping out a lot!

[@AccordEmpire]

Thanks for watching! Glad i could help

[@headon434]

TrueProphet- get rid of it , that car has the worst transmission problems in the world. Go to carcomplaints.com and search that car

[@thevvizard823]

@@headon434 true but if you drive normal and not 0 to 100 it's a great whip

[@donyewump3127]

I had the same problem my speakers didn’t have any screws, thank you so much.🙏

Great video man! Useful video to install speakers

[@AccordEmpire]

Glad i could help!

[@jordan29daniel82]

Nice setup you have bro. I’m thinking about replacing the two front speakers with 6 1/2s and putting a 12 in the trunk. I’ll be sure to come back and watch your videos to help guide me with the install. Thanks bro

[@johnnyrivera7299]

Hay thanks 4 the video I did thr same thing question that phone holder on your cup holder wear did u get and wear can I find one thanks

[@khadeemchronicle6988]

would you recommended a full set of car speakers ( front doors . back doors . and read above trunk ) or just sub in back ??

[@dahaizang]

Thank you for sharing your trails and errors and successes! I am discouraged by your experience. I have a 2003 Accord and was thinking about replacing the speakers. Not really sure a set of Kickers are worth the hassle. I did replace the door speakers on my 2018 Accord (I'm old) and it wasn't satisfactory as I had to make some harness (or bracket?) from a piece of MDF in order for the after market Kicker to fit in. The sound became harsher and unpleasant with the new speakers. The original factory speaker sound was more laid back, soft and pleasing sounding but of course lacks the "kick".

[@HoleCleaner]

Why did you attach the new wiring harness to the ones that came with the speaker instead of directly to the speaker!?

[@Twoods1102]

Carl Miller my thoughts exactly.

[@muradkhan-pe2qy]

Bruh c'mon I noticed that 😂😂 when I had that car I cut the wires and connected them for a better connection

[@npccali2839]

where do you find the carbon fiber shifter/center compartment covers?

[@josevelarde4113]

Hey there love your videos recently suscribe I was wondering if there was no problem if I put 6.5 speaker the front ones I know the rear ones are 6x9

[@eddiediaz9267]

You need a bracket for bigger speakers, cause the bigger magnet. Plus it pushes the speakers out an inch or so which adds more sound and resonates better than it resonating with the metal door. Just a tid bit.

[@robertherman8075]

How did u connect sub and amp to stock deck ?

[@MaxSabbath666]

with that mounting process, ive seen videos where people try to install 6.5" speakers in the doors and they have to cut the old factory speaker out of that mounting ring in order to keep use of the mounting ring. is there no other option? doesnt crutchfield send you a mounting ring? why dont i see videos of people using that mounting ring ?

[@Ajallday1010]

Job well done brother, thank you for the very helpful information

[@losangeles2183]

what speakers do you think are the best?

[@TheGuyJose]

Hey bro! Question does adding after market speakers mess up like your battery or alternator. Meaning like drain them more than normal?

[@dustinandandria]

No. Unless you have an amp or a head unit that draws a lot of current. But not the speakers.

[@user-qn5fe6ym4x]

I don't know wat oms speaker to put in I try a 4 oms n it played low

[@noahgyarmati2507]

I’m getting my 2005 accord this week. Is there anyway you could let me know all the accessories you use in yours? Thanks!

[@matthewneck6524]

His Amazon store shows everything he has ever used in his videos bud! Goodluck!

[@OG-Malinali]

please do a new tweeter install I bought some alpine 6 and a half inch speakers that were to big for my door panels and I tried explaining to Audio Express that the magnet was too big now I know for a fact what size I need to get and they better exchange them cuz I did not spend $200 on speakers that weren't the right size the thing is my speakers came with tweeters as well so it would really help me a lot if you installed brand new tweeters thank you much love and go Honda!!!

[@AccordEmpire]

I've been actually planning on changing my tweeters although not too sure when yet if I did it would probably be in a couple weeks don't know if you would want to wait that long for a video it should be a simple install though and yea hopefully they replace it for you.

[@juandondiegojr1296]

Accord Empire it does the sound its is better

[@javierfelix4203]

@@AccordEmpire can I fit a 6.5 speaker?

[@Noteyesack]

I know many speakers hit the glass when they're knocking. Have you experienced any problems with the speakers hitting the glass?

[@AccordEmpire]

DirtiestValdez nope I haven't.

[@Noteyesack]

Accord Empire that's legit. I think I'll invest in the door speakers. I'm a bit hesitant to install a sub in my accord... don't want my alternator giving out. Does your alternator still run all smoothly with the sub?

[@AccordEmpire]

+DirtiestValdez haven't heard of an alternator giving out before but yea mines good I would assume your battery would drain first since your amp is directly connected to it but yea try out the speakers install real easy and later on if you feel more confident look into getting a sub trust me it's worth it

[@Scatpack23]

Do you still have the car

[@jasonspataro5908]

hey m8, is it worth doing this without an amp?

[@christianloera9413]

thats only for subs

[@eddiediaz9267]

I wanna know how he got them lights on the floor🎃

[@alecweis5851]

Has anyone actually installed kicker 6.5” speakers in the doors?

[@hondawhiteguy4223]

Alec Weis i did today

[@MiKa-fu2wi]

U don't want too much tremble...

[@TheRoyalking761]

Did you have to cut a bigger hole for the speaker to fit?

[@AccordEmpire]

Alpha_717 nope the only thing I had to do was drill new holes for the speaker to stay in place I show it in the video.

[@valadezjose47]

So this is not a how to. They have a reverse plug for the speakers so you don't have to cut anything. Also there is a speaker mounting bracket that's what makes speaker sit as oem. And lastly I didn't see him say anything about polarity testing

[@AngelP408]

What store did you buy those at? I forgot to get those too and i wanna go buy them rn lol

[@AngelP408]

The adapters*

[@MrPartyRockerLmfao]

You don’t need the adapters you cut the stock one off and use blue wire caps to connect them

[@thefamousdjx]

For a cleaner install., cut off the old speaker from that housing. The Kicker speaker fits perfectly well into the resulting slot. Will see if i can make a video of this

[@calebk3255]

year later. no video :(

[@Flapo30]

Where did you get that speaker harness

[@AccordEmpire]

+Abraham Everts best buy but I'm pretty sure you can get them at most audio shops

[@alfredogarciajr3322]

What's the sound quality like with the kicker speakers? Looking to upgrade mine.

[@AccordEmpire]

+Alfredo Garcia Jr so far, I really do like them. The high or vocals sound a lot better than the stock speaker. Plus its an easy install!

[@jccstillo6335]

Oye

[@Mak933]

Just a question from a complete idiot here... Couldn't you alternatively cut away the plastic housing from the original speaker harness, apply a soldering iron to the soldered connections of the original speaker to the original connector/harness, then solder the new speakers to the original connector/harness? This could save pretty anyone from having to purchase a separate harness. Not that it would save much money, but it would save time.

[@Mak933]

One more suggestion: A quality receiver/stereo system will first be your best bang for your buck, rather than speakers. Start from the source: Uncompressed audio>Digital to Analog converter (DAC)>pre-amp/amplifier>speakers.

[@jewllake]

honda stock speakers are shit! When we bought our 06 Accord EX brand new; two days later I pulled the door panels and rear speakers and replaced them. Front are infinity 2ohm 6.5 and the rear are alpine type s 6 1/2 cone speakers. Sounds much better. Still powering them off the stock nav radio.

[@AccordEmpire]

have you ever thought about changing the tweeter?

[@jewllake]

it was a little too bright sounding for me, the ones on the dash, so I popped them off and put some cloth over them. Now they serve as a filler to the music when turned up at moderate levels. The front infinities i installed are 2ohm so they require lite to no power to sound great. The tweeters on those pivot and have a built in adjustable crossover.

[@livinglegendmusic]

i just got an 05 coupe v6 6spd. nav is cool but please tell me how the radio sounds with new speakers. or should i bypass and run an amplifier on new speakers. my goal is to have it loud. i guess what im asking is after the speaker upgrade did they scream?? lol
